Chapter 59 He Gazed

He had once believed he was in love with Jessica, and had been heartbroken when she had turned down his marriage proposal, but he knew now that it hadn’t been that kind of love between them.

And now, she was even more precious because she made his brother so happy.
• “I know,” he said, “but I really am fine.”
• Melanie returned and Jessica stood up. “Okay, we’ll be back in about an hour.”
